  Yeah right. I'm too old and would give them so much drama that WTBT$ would put a hit out on me

  Regrets for knowing the TATT? Strange feeling overcoming...

  by BluePill2 in

  2. experiences

  today is a strange day.. i have been out of the borg for a while now.

  some years have passed and i thoroughly enjoy the freedom, not having to bend my mind and rape my soul to force myself to do and say things that i don't feel or believe.

  i started my own business, got a wonderful girlfriend and made some friends (that are not monsters like the wt$ likes to portray others).. my parents, siblings, brothers-in-law, cousins, aunts, uncles, ex-wife, "friends" and my daughter, have cut their contact to me.

  I understand how you feel. We have 'lost' all of our friends and family. Unfortunately if you try to go back in, they still won't 'trust' you and will still have limited contact.

  I know it is difficult. But we cannot get thru that cognitive resonance and mind control fromt he cult.

  Please hang in there

  My little brother went apostate and because the family shunned him, he killed himself. I regret that very much because, now that I am out, I wish he was still around so that we could be 'out' of the Borg together.

  Point is...Don't give up. You don't know that 1, 5, 10 years from now, one of your family members may wake up and see it for what it is A Satanic cult that destroys families

  I was always told, so that it doesn't bring reproach to Jehovah's name.

  But in reality what is it doing now that all of these are being exposed? Making it worse and damaging kids. I recently heard that Zalkin has 10 other abuse cases he's filed.

  If 144,000 in Revelation is literal then why is the number in the Greek language in plural form?

  Thank you. Nice catch! If you look it up in the 1969 Kingdom Interlinear it says basically the same thing.

  Was Your Leaving The Witnesses A Very Gradual Process Or A Quick One?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, it took many years.. even when i would read all the changes over the years from the "truth", i still would ignore it and "wait on jehovah" and try to be a positive force in the congregation.. eventually, i just couldn't take it anymore and resigned as an elder, and slowly but surely made my fade.. what about you?

  were you out, in a short or longer time?

  ?.
